All these gun laws won’t mean much if we cannot purchase ammo without a permit and all ammo that is not stamped will be outlawed. Even reloading your own will not be permissible. We are a crossroads in America. Communism is here and has been never as powerful as in this time. It will get worse in the future.

“Then why don’t we do away with the court system and go back to the Old West, where you have a gun and I have a gun and we’ll settle it in the streets?”

O.K. Name the time and place you left wing creep.

Morton Grove repealed its ban. So did Wilmette. Likewise for Evanston. Last week, Winnetka followed suit.

Thanks to the NRA and partially to the Second Amendment Foundation.

The goa as usual is AWOL.

If politicians lie about this what else do they lie about?

If their lips are moving....

Don’t leave home without it!

Reasons to Carry a Gun Today:

My old grandpa said to me son, ‘there comes a time in every mans life when
he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps and usually it’s when he
becomes too old to take an ass whoopin’.

I don’t carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of gov ernment.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry.
I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating
myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on
a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones
they love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to
me.

Police Protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.

Police do not protect you from crime,
they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call
someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take
an ass whoopin’.

Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don’t
mind...And those that mind...don’t matter.’

Exactly how would this be enforced? The same way laws against alcohol purchase were enforced?

But if YOU get caught with a gun in your car with one round in it, or a loaded magazine near the gun, get ready for 10 years in Statesville Prison.

10 years? Criminy, you might as well have a machinegun. In for a penny, in for a pound.

States have always had police powers.
